Scouting Report

Assets
  • He has a great change-up, made better when set up by his mid-90s darting fastball. He's not afraid to go right after hitters.
Flaws
  • Command gives Brazelton headaches more than anything else, falling behind in the count far too often. His dedication to the game has been put in question.
Career Potential
  • Can be at least a reliable late-rotation starter, if his head's in the game.
